Westland Hills Park has so much to enjoy for people of all ages!
Right in the middle of what I believe to be the busiest location in Albany, you will find a hidden gem for active families. Westland Hills Park offers a playground with TONS of space to walk/run around surrounded by trees, picnic tables, tennis courts, baseball fields, a dog park, and a splash pad. Locals love this place in the warmer months for the fenced-in splash pad, indoor lockers, and bathrooms (for changing out of wet clothes) and shaded areas for walking. Autumn is just as lovely and the trees are gorgeous! My dog loves chasing the kids around while they play. (SIDENOTE: I only allow her off-leash if we are alone which occurs quite often). There is also a separate off-leash fenced-in area for dogs if the playground isn't empty.
Ideal day: Packing some picnic supplies and heading out there mid-morning around 10 am. The kids can start out at the Spray Pad and then move to the playground for a picnic lunch and play!
